NwMt, now I have a better sense of thistle making those paths through her snow! That looks like alot of work.

Me too!
I don't know if i can get these picts to make sense...
This is the 'living room' that was almost completely unused. The only thing that this room had been used for in years was to play wii and 'store' junk.

I FINALLY got the stains out of the carpet, got the trash furniture out of there, got Dad to let me have the table that Grand Daddy made , took that giant basket of flowers apart to make several small arraingments, moved my FIL's china cabinet in - got the junk out and Grand Mother's crystal in, and even got the radio working again. TADAA! My 'new' dining room!

And just for fun - if anyone remembers that old piano that I was going to turn into a cabinet...
This is the 'canning cabinet' I finally settled on. An old dresser topped with a $15 hutch from the thrift store.

And once I started taking the piano apart, I discovered it was beautiful inside (after a GOOD cleaning!)

Love your room makeover! Beautiful piano!

@thistlebloom and @NwMtGardener - thanks for hogging all the snow, I think it's too cold here to snow... icebergs floating in the sky. We have about 6" on the ground, really don't want anymore!

I do my Spring house cleaning in January (if I waited til Spring it would never get done) ... and sew, alot... and hope I don't have to shovel much snow, although it is great exercise!
